Isaac Sipp-Alpers is a fourth-year EAS undergraduate with a minor in chemistry and biochemistry. His academic interests revolve around the usage of chemistry to understand the past and present of Earth’s oceans and climate. Isaac conducts paleoceanography research with Dr. Lynch-Stieglitz’s lab group, with a focus on changes in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation during the Last Interglacial Period. He received the 2023-2024 Rutt Bridges Award, with which he funded a research trip to Boulder, Colorado in February 2024. He is also a recipient of the 2024-2025 Rutt Bridges Award, which he will use to fund a trip to present his research at the AGU Fall Meeting in Washington, D.C., in December 2024. Isaac intends to graduate in Spring 2025 and then go on to pursue a PhD in oceanography. In his free time, Isaac enjoys watching and playing baseball, reading, cooking, swimming, and camping.
